Soup, soup, soup! In the countries with a long winter how to warm up?

 

Today we will travel to the north of Europe. England, Finland, Russia, - what do these countries have in common? Yes, correct, - a long and cold (in comparison with Southern Europe) winter. So, obviously, the traditional homemade food is different there. For every day cooking at home, especially when it is cold outside, a soup is very popular. Meat soups, fish soups, accompanied by vegetables like potatoes, carrots, cabbage, beetroot are considered not as a starter like in Mediterranean countries, but as the main course.

These soups are thick, nutritious, and usually served very hot with bread and cheese. In this case a small salad can be offered as a starter. For the full family lunch or dinner also meat dishes can be served after a soup, and then a dessert - tea or coffee with bans or cookies. This is really nice to warm yourself like this and enjoy looking through the windows when snow is falling down and snowflakes are dancing in the air!

Welcome to the North!
